    That’s a losing battle I’m afraid. The power of an echo chamber is too strong.

    FTR I was also disappointed to see the downvotes on an honest, if unpopular, opinion.

      I absolutely hate Trump and I’m disappointed that an honest and unpopular opinion received downvotes. It reminds me of the single downvotes on comments such as “we need to stop gun violence.” It signifies partisan politics rather than open discussion.

      Are we not supposed to use down vote for “I disagree with this but I don’t have the energy for a full reply”?

        Downvotes should be reserved for comments that add nothing to the discussion. It’s not a disagreement button.

        At least that was the original intent.
